saw the queen in Edinburgh. She is
fat stout old woman, with rosy face
and dark gray hair. Her features are more
German than English, and they look
very inoffensive and uncharacteristic.
She Is probably woman of great intel
lectual strength and of queenly thought,
but, as TO appearance, you may see bet
ter faces Mt any reception in America or
In any days shopping. She was on her
way TO the Edinburgh exposition, and
the streets OF Edinburgh were cleared Of
carriages and street cars during her
march. The enthusiasm of the people
was not great, and the cheer as She
passed along was not equal to that of an
American procession in which the presi-
dent takes part. Queen Victoria with two
of her daughters sat i'm n double seated
carriage hauled by four horses and a
half dozen lords and dukes rode i'm front
of and behind her. AS the carriage
passed along, the three women, the one
old and the others middle aged and
younger, kept continuously bobbing their
heads in bowling a response to the cheers
of the crowd. The whole scene was n
ridiculous one

Mexican Residences.

Another popularity OF Mexican life is
that everybody lives over a shop, II the
house be of two stories, or uses his lower
floor for stablng the horses, quartering the
servants, etc. Even milllonaires often rent
the ground floor Of their swellest residences
for business purposes, and nobody seems to
have any domestic use for their lower front
rooms, which Americans consider the most
desirable. Go to call upon q bishop or somo
other high dignitary, or upon any family OF
known wealth, aud II there Is not shoe
maker pegging away at his bench Just In
side the trout door, or tailor shop or bair-
dressing or blacksmithiug establishment,

gauntlet OF horses heels, besides viewing
the paraphernalia OF the forerer-open
kitchen and smelling the next meals menu.

fore the Representative Committee.

lnt
There is quite warfare waglng in the
Citizens Committee OF One Hundred, and,
at the meeting last night, some very plain
talk was INDUCED In. a communication
was read from Citizens Association No.
5, embodylng the resolutions adopted by
that organization, Withdrawing from the
Central Association, because OF dlssatisfac-
ton with their representation on the com
mittee. These resolutions caused an ami
mated debate, led by DR.. Frizzell, Mr..

gates from the Eighth District, stated that
they would not serve with DR.. Frizzell, w.
scott Smith and s. A. Coombs, delegates

tricts OF the Eighth. A motion was made
to refer the whole subject back to the local
association OF the Eighth District, which
motion was finally tabled. Mr.. Dodge
moved TO amend rule twenty-five, so as to
allow one subordinate association to take
action where only one association was IN
yolyed, or where immediate action was
necessary.
Objection was made and the matter went
over. Tho three members present from
District No. 3, were instructed that the
other two members from their section hav-
Ing withdrawn they would be at liberty to
report names to fill places on the various
committees to which their section was en-
titled
